Answer:

As we have experiences, both negative and positive, they impact the formation of our thoughts. This in turn impacts our use of language. If we have negative experiences, we will form more negative uses of our language. Dr. Benjamin Whorf stated that our language then determines the type of person we will become as we have a multitude of experiences. And depending on the type of language we learn growing up, we will see an impact on our development. German, for example, is a very rough and cruel language. Which is why the Germans have instigated two world wars. Historians have criticized Whorf's theory because of the prejudice it showed towards certain cultures.

WW2 Had just ended, so of course America did not want any other nation to become more powerful than them, for the idea that it would end up being like Germany. Americans also wanted to protect democracy, so communism was a major threat to the USA and it's beliefs. Naturally, America wanted to prove dominance to the USSR, thus the beginning of the cold war.

Imagine you are in control of the Tardis. Your task is to go back in time and make sure that Britain keeps one of the colonies
yan [13]
Go back to North America. Give the colonists some representation in Parliament and a little more ‘freedom’ to rule and re-write laws and economic policies (taxes). This would have appeased some of the revolutionary leaders and most of the common people.
